Introducing Ravi!
Life’s a breeze when all you have to worry about is making sure everyone has a good time, but Ravi’s been playing it safe with minimal conflict for so long that he might be out of practice dealing with the hard things. At what point does staying in one’s comfort zone become a jail of their own making?
Introducing Catia!
In which I decide to just create my own otome game
Maybe I’ll start developing my own otome game 😆 I may or may not have been thinking about it a lot lately
Find all other reports here!
JULY 9TH BLACKOUT IN FULL EFFECT. INFO HERE.
Wow, okay, good morning everyone! I think I gained almost 200 followers overnight?? 😭 Thank you all for being here!
We have a lot to go over this morning, so let's just get started from the tippy top.
7/9/2026 8:45 AM CDT
Reminders
First and foremost, this is a kind, respectful, peaceful space. I will not tolerate any aggression or rudeness towards any person, group of people, or towards Infold. I'm here to give you information and hopium. This situation is stressful enough without adding negativity into the mix.
I do not have all the answers! I made logical assumptions based on the information I have. Without a statement from Infold, nothing can be 100% confirmed. Please take everything with a grain of salt, and use your critical thinking skills to draw your own conclusions.
I do not have substantial knowledge on coding or game development. I have a marketing degree and I currently work as a legal secretary. I am much more comfortable making assumptions about those particular topics, but I will gather as much information as I can about the situation as a whole.
I see all of your messages in my inbox, I promise! I will respond to as many as I can throughout the day.
Recap of Last Night
Yes, last night was a lot. But let me give you a very brief overview before we move into everything else.
"Coming soon" was removed. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING! This has also happened before! Here's a post with an explanation.
Valko's information remains fully intact. His WU story is the same as it was before the update, and the text messages from the Hunter's Association are still there. Here's my post with proof.
6.0 Updates
Glitches on glitches on glitches. Bugs everywhere. For example...
Not only that, but the bursts are glitching—specifically the myth bursts, from what I've seen. Limbs everywhere, discoloration, lagging—just a whole mess. The best explanation for this is that the devs had already added Valko's coding into the game, but chose not to release it with the current patch. Now, I don't know much about coding, but I do know that if one line is messed up, the whole thing is messed up.
I've received many messages saying that Valko's Discord channel and role were deleted. His channel was only hidden/archived, but the role was removed. I know this might seem like a step backwards, but I think of it differently. If Valko is coming back, he'll likely face a completely new announcement and reintroduction. I wouldn't take this as a major loss.
This post on X provides a detailed explanation of the changes, glitches, and bugs from a game development perspective. I found it very helpful!
Speculation
Some are speculating that certain cards are being censored. I cannot confirm or deny this. However, in my opinion, most of the "changes" seem to be glitches rather than intentional changes. We'll know more as time goes on.
This timeline feels incredibly strange. Valko was announced on June 22nd. Infold insisted that he was here to stay on June 27th. They cancelled his release on June 30th. That's a really quick switch-up. There are definitely a lot of factors involved in this that we don't know about. Here's a post covering the timeline of events.
Here's a post speculating on the CCP's involvement. I think it's very possible, especially given the fact that we haven't received any kind of statement from Infold. If the government/law is involved, they are likely unable to say anything at all.
The possible CCP involvement is what brings me to my next point. I do not believe we're being ignored by Infold. If that were the case, they would have addressed the CN players and not global—but they didn't. They only announced the cancellation of BW2026 to them because it takes place in Shanghai. The cancellation of the JP event was only announced to JP players. I don't think we're being ignored, I think Infold is literally barred from making a statement.
Protest Updates
We have a billboard in Hong Kong!
Those of you in or around NYC...
Thanks to a user on X who's been keeping count, I can confirm we are at around 4.8 MILLION posts in support of #bringvalkoback. We've been trending for 9 days straight!
According to this post, global players account for 52% of LADS's revenue. We have enough influence to make demands. Don't stop fighting!
CN girls on RedNote are begging us to keep making noise. They want Valko as much as we do! Keep going, friends!!
LADS is ranking REAL low on the charts. Like...REALLY low. Here's a post.
We are moving back to emailing Infold, as well as participating in the total boycott and protest today (info linked above). Here is my resources document, which contains all the info you'll need to email them!
Notes Do NOT log into the game. We need to affect their DAU metric (daily active users) Unfollow on social media (Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.
As always, I'll update you as soon as I have more information. I'll also be giving you a healthy dose of hopium in a little bit! Sending my love <3
Im tryna be understanding but I cant understand why people would willingly..NOT boycott this game..especially tomorrow.
And depending on what happens..why would ya'll continue supporting a game that'd so happily vouch for the players that sprout racist bullshit and hate whenever it comes to decisions they don't like.. its gross and makes no sense.
Especially when the global fans have done soo much just to keep this game the way it is and spreading positivity. Why the fuck would yall wanna keep checking in on a game that has no spine?? That makes no sense to me.
I still have LADs downloaded, but I haven’t logged in since the cancellation was announced. As a gal who can count the number of days she hadn’t logged in the whole year prior on one hand, the change in my daily routine is so weird feeling 😂😅
I’ve been drawing a lot more though! So that’s something!
Bruh, I got jumpscared earlier today by a notification from the game because I haven't logged in in so long lmao. That is a first for me.
I keep seeing ads EVERYWHERE, but they can’t catch me~

Me: It’s the fact that they think he’s too tan? This man is so pale!
Partner: He’s thought about the sun once or twice.
Me: He had a La Croix and the aftertaste was UV
Partner: He had a Sunny D
Roommate: I miss Valko
Me: I miss Valko too
Fiancé: I don’t even go here and *I* miss Valko
Love and Deepspace has officially lost 25,000 followers on X and 20,000 on Instagram, they claim that they hear us yet they don’t listen, im not sure what more proof they want that we love Valko as a community, so if you’re still following them unfollow, and speak up, let it be known that we want Valko back 🐺
They are also TANKING on TikTok~
Valko supporters, we’re creating a Discord server to unite our efforts in raising our voices against PPG decision to cancel Valko’s launch. If you want to join, please leave a comment below.
You know, I said that I understand why Chinese players hated Valko, because well, obviously having references to a real life femininity case isn't cool
... but after seeing a lot of Chinese players interacting with global players, I'm starting to doubt that was the real reason
Because all I've been seeing is them being straightfoward racist towards the global players
Of course, not all Chinese players. I've seen quite a lot saying they too are getting hate, both from Chinese (for liking Valko), and from global (just because they are Chinese)
This!
The historical references have been in the game for months but weren’t a big deal conveniently until the new character release.
The female safety argument goes out the window as soon as you look at literally any of the other LIs and their canonical actions and behavior.
And everything else is just blatant racism and homophobia.
"The female safety argument goes out the window as soon as you look at literally any of the other LIs and their canonical actions and behavior."
Not only that, have you seen them sending r-pe threats to global players? Wishing death to their families too
When the whole baby sister debate was going on, they were saying that it was fine because it's not like they would fck their real life brother and only dumb/sick to the brain people were fussing bout it.
Well? It's not like girls would like if someone suddenly came into their balcony in real life, just because they like Valko
Justice for all the Duskbreaker/Moonbreaker MCs

Anyway, there is an alternate universe where infold is brave enough to pull the funniest and ballsy move and just release Valko but change his name. TECHNICALLY they would not be releasing Valko and also TECHNICALLY it wouldn’t be a new LI having been developed because it was already developed.
Valko’s MC is now the dawnbreaker of the MCs…
I knew LADs fans were a whole level of crazy compared to the general otome fandom, but this is a whole new level of insanity…
Anyway…
